Five housemates – Jim Davidson, Ollie Locke, Luisa Zissman, Linda Nolan and Lee Ryan – were up for eviction and singer Linda was chosen to sadly leave the house before she had a chance to fight the final fight and win the whole show.

But does that mean that the way is now clear for her nemesis Jim to take the Celebrity Big Brother crown?

Coming out to a majority of boos the famous sister said that she had had a great time in the house but under questioning maintained that her feud with the ‘disgraceful’ comedian Jim was still a problem and that although she didn’t want to spend her whole interview discussing him ended up doing exactly that.

The singer felt that the only reason she had bonded with Luisa was because they both felt the same way about Jim.

In the recap we learnt that:

Ollie – not very happy with Luisa (Picture: C5)

Warring Ollie pointed out that Luisa has had a row with every housemate (probably apart from Sam Faiers) calling her ‘bullying’ and ‘vile’ and he might be right – Luisa can’t take a step without falling out with someone.

Dappy agreed and also admitted privately in the Diary Room that him and Luisa weren’t friendly any more and that she was the only one who’d had a row with everyone. But it only took a few whispered words from master manipulator Luisa for her to make up with the Made In Chelsea star.

The new school changing room comparison test was Lee and Dappy comparing how many followers they had on Twitter. I think Lee was a bit disappointed to hear that Dappy was a bit larger than he was.

The political hustings task with each housemate speaking for themselves and looking to smear fellow housemates left a nasty taste in the mouth as each contestant stood up to discuss why they should get votes and why others shouldn’t. Needless to say both Luisa and Jim were mainly in the firing line.

Casey Batchelor and Lee continued to flirt and perpetuate the ongoing love triangle story of this year’s show. But as I’ve said before who really cares now?

When presenter Emma spoke to the house for the first time tonight and it was revealed that Ollie and Jim were safe the rest of the housemates obviously looked worried that the comedian might be a bit of a favourite to the win the whole show. That feeling was cemented later when Linda was announced as tonight’s evictee. Could Jim make up for the Hell’s Kitchen fiasco by winning Celebrity Big Brother?

Well let’s see… because while the remaining housemates believe they are all still in the running until the last show next Wednesday, Emma revealed tonight there will be a surprise eviction on Sunday, so it’s still all up in the air for now! Who won’t make it to the finale?
